Until August, when the sky was getting cooler and no longer stuffy, Gu Tang ordered people to collect all the things together, and they took the waterway all the way back to the capital from the inland river.

On the way, go around the south of the Yangtze River, and go to Yangzhou Mansion to see the scenery there, if you stop by, go to Gusu again.

It turned out that this time he said that he would take Tanabata out to see the scenery, but he never thought that he would be happy on this day, Gu Tang was afraid that Tanabata would be lost, so at this moment, he took Tanabata to take a look.

The back of the stomach is up, and I can't see it anymore!

Fortunately, these days, after the nourishment of the Korean Hospital's medicinal diet, her pregnant women's symptoms have been alleviated, and she has been much better.

Although he is still thin, his face is really much better, and the early autumn drizzle, with a hint of coolness and hazy beauty, is now sprinkled down and falls on the passenger ship all the way forward.

The deck of the passenger ship was wet, and the outside was slippery, Gu Tang sat by this window with Qixi Festival, looking at the beautiful scenery on the river, and was about to arrive at Yangzhou Mansion, and now the shore looked lively.

The canopy boats are docked on both banks, the red lanterns are hung high on the eaves of the shore, and the air is mixed with a trace of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and the fragrance is particularly refreshing.

"Tired or not?"

Gu Tang still held his mother's freshly stewed rock sugar blood swallow in his hand, scooped a spoonful to cool and handed it to Qixi, who reluctantly ate a bite by himself.

Listening to Gu Tang's question, he shook his head, tired is not tired, the waterway is less bumpy on the land, he either eats or lies down all day long, and there is nothing else to do, and now it is like this.

"The boat will dock in a moment and take you on the road! The market over there looks particularly lively, let's find an inn to stay for three or five days, and then let's set off. ”

Seeing that Qixi had a low appetite, Gu Tang didn't force her, put the bowl on the side, and only said that the place near the shore was lively, and she could go and eat some snacks in Yangzhou Mansion.

Qixi nodded and leaned into Gu Tang's arms, and Gu Tang helped her gather the cloak on her body.

The passenger ship docked all the way, the old princess had already let people put the straw mat on the deck, there was still some light rain outside, spread the straw mat, so as not to slip for a while, Qixi now has a body, everything must be careful.

When Gu Tang came out with Qixi, the old princess was more careful than Cui Yashu, her mother-in-law, for fear that Qixi would be cold, and after carefully checking the clothes on Qixi, she was relieved.

The group got off the boat, Ah Ji led the way first, and cleared a way for Gu Tang and them, Yangzhou Mansion has its own "Huaizuo Famous Capital, Zhuxi Best Place" said, now look at the people and scenery here, it is really called such a word.

Ah Ji took a look at the most lively place in the city, and set up a wing room on the inn closest to the Slender West Lake, originally wanted to charter the next floor, but unfortunately, the guest had already set a lease period of three months, and the shopkeeper did not dare to break his word, so Gu Tang let Ah Ji forget it.

A group of people stayed in the inn and lived in this inn, not to mention the biggest benefit, is to be able to see the entire Slender West Lake.

Seeing the boats coming and going on the lake at this moment, still floating on the lake with green willow leaves, I really feel quiet and enjoyable.

"It's still early, I'll take you out for a walk."

Since Qixi moved in, he has never moved his hands at all, it was Gu Tang who took care of everything, but now the two old mothers are rushing to finish everything, and even Gu Tang is very idle here.

It's busy outside, Gu Tang is afraid that Qixi will be bored, so he takes Qixi out for a walk to see if there is anything she likes to eat, and it is good to buy some food.

Qixi nodded at this moment, and went out with Gu Tang all the way, as soon as he got out of the threshold of this inn, it was originally a downtown area, and he didn't need to find a big store when he went out, but there was a lot of food on this stall.

Double sesame shortbread, jade siu mai, shredded chicken rolls, and the fragrance emanating from the steamer made Tanabata have a moment of stopping for the first time.

"Aji, go and buy the things there!"

Gu Tang saw that Qixi looked at the moment when his gaze stopped on the steamer, and he hurriedly called Ah Ji and asked Ah Ji to buy it.

In the steamer on the stall, all the pastries will be bought one by one, Gu Tang took Qixi to sit in the position and wait, Qixi broke some double hemp shortbread and put it in his mouth, did not want to vomit, took two bites and handed it to Gu Tang.

Gu Tang habitually opened his mouth to take it and ate it into his mouth, he was used to it these days, that is, he ate what was left behind on Qixi Festival.

But everything in the Tanabata bowl, he can be regarded as having it all!

More than a dozen kinds of pastries, the most eaten on Qixi Festival are Sanding buns and double sesame shortbread, seeing that she likes to eat, Ah Ji didn't need Gu Tang's instructions, so she bought some to pack.

After eating something, the two of them walked all the way forward, to the lively place, where there were people performing arts, and they went to see the excitement.

After shopping for more than half an hour, Qixi was tired, Gu Tang took Qixi back to the inn, and it was also a coincidence, when Gu Tang stepped into the threshold with Qixi in his arms, the person who came to him met with Qixi and them.

When I raised my eyes, I saw a very familiar face!

"I said who is so big, and he has to charter the largest inn in Yangzhou City, it turns out to be the King of Xiang and the Princess of Xiang!"

It was none other than Mrs. Xiao, who had not been seen for a long time......

Old Madam Xiao, who was dressed in a large-sleeved gown with plum blossom patterns in Hunan silk and a whole branch, originally had a warm face, but the moment she saw Gu Tang and Qixi Festival, her face changed instantly and became a tense state.

Today, she went out for a walk, and when she came back, she saw that the inn was very lively, and said that what was wrong, but she didn't think about it......

"The road is narrow!"

Old Madam Xiao gritted her teeth and squeezed out the four words from between her teeth, and then glanced at Qixi again, remembering that she was here because she was here, and the fire rose out for no reason.

"What's the matter? The prince of Xiang and the princess of Xiang are now on the high bed and soft pillow in the capital, but when they came to observe the people's feelings, did they come to ask the emperor to drive out of the capital? ”

The unconvinced old lady didn't want to pay attention to Gu Tang and Qixi, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but be angry, and she couldn't help but reply.

"Thank you for the old lady's concern, our Xiangwang Mansion is not defeated now, it is Qixi that is pregnant, I am afraid that she will stay in the capital and be bored, no, we are old and young, just accompany her out for a walk, you said that they have only been married for a long time, and there is such a happy event, can we not be happy."

At this time, the old lady's mouth couldn't say nice words, and Qixi looked at the old lady who was very angry, and didn't want to have any conflict with it.

But the two old mothers who were going to come out to find Qixi and Gu Tang were ready to listen to what the old lady Xiao said.

This old lady Xiao has a sentence that is really true, the road is narrow!

There is no need to wait for Cui Yashu to come into battle, the old princess came out earlier, in a word, just the four words of pregnancy here have already made Mrs. Xiao's face change.

Her gaze showed a look of disbelief, looking at Tanabata's belly that would be hidden under the cloak, "You...... It's not like you can't give birth! ”

Old Madam Xiao's mouth, what she said was without hesitation, for a grandson, how long she waited, everyone in the capital knows.

How did he stare at Qixi in the first place, and no one needs to say much.

Because of this, although she saw that Qixi was married to Gu Tang, she never felt anything in her heart, marrying a woman who couldn't give birth to children was not a good thing.

At the end of the day, that's the chicken that doesn't lay eggs!

But now......

"When the child is born next year, give Mrs. Xiao an invitation card, and come to our house to have a glass of water and wine to celebrate our family."

The old princess looked at the unwilling Mrs. Xiao, and she didn't forget to make up a sentence, what did she say about Qixi Festival, she listened.

"In the end, this god also has eyes, seeing the beauty and kindness of our Qixi people, I am reluctant to let her always call those slanders that rot the root of the tongue, we will return to Beijing in a few days, and when we arrive in the capital, we will meet again!"

The old princess's words made Mrs. Xiao's nostrils smoke, but she didn't expect Cui Yashu to come to make up for it, and after this sentence was made, Mrs. Xiao sneered.

I wanted to reply, but before she could react, the two of them seemed to have to take Qixi away with the moon.

At the door, Xiao Zhan, who went to buy some snacks and came back, looked at his mother and Gu Tang standing, and then looked at the three figures who went to the Tianzi room.

Xiao Zhan only said, "Such a coincidence! ”

Xiao Zhan took his reluctant mother out of the capital all the way, and came to Yangzhou City to live, where he originally thought of waiting for a few days and then going elsewhere.

Today, he went out to buy some loose cakes and came back, trying to make his mother happy, but he didn't expect it......

"Take Qixi to see the beautiful scenery in this Yangzhou mansion, and leave in a few days, it's really a coincidence, I didn't expect you and the old lady to be here, and sit down and eat something together in a while."

Gu Tang was very calm about meeting Xiao Zhan's mother and son at this moment, and after answering with a smile, he said that he would sit down with Xiao Zhan and get together.

"The pregnant person is a fairy in the sky, how can he get used to eating the food on this earth, we individuals are not worthy of sitting with the princess to dine!"

Gu Tang's invitation was natural, but on the other side, there was a breath in his heart, and the old lady Xiao, who had broken her son's thoughts, began to speak in a difficult tone.

With these words, Xiao Zhan, who was at this meeting, looked at Gu Tang......

"Qixi is pregnant, almost four months, I was also out to play, this will go back to Beijing by water to give birth, and wait for the child to be born to do a full moon wine, if you are free, come back and drink a glass of water and wine."

Xiao Zhan had already guessed this answer in his heart, but when he heard Gu Tang talk about it, he still felt a little lost in his heart, and that kind of loss was as if he had completely lost an object that he could never find back.

Disappear off the face of the earth!

"Congratulations!" Although he was bitter in his heart, Xiao Zhan still didn't forget to congratulate Gu Tang, and after that, he talked to Gu Tang and then said goodbye and went back to his room.

But after going back, in the room with the door closed, there would be some scolding from time to time, and the words were hard to hear, and what could be heard was Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao was unwilling and had nowhere to vent, so she scolded her son for being useless......
